PAYE

PAYE (or pay-as-you-earn) is a type of income tax that is deducted from a person's income by their employer as they earn it. The amount withheld is usually determined by a tax code. By filing a tax return, the taxpayer and government reconcile the difference between the amount withheld and the amount owed.
